I think most of us in love with Mobil 1, are specific about the 15-50W variety wink Some of the other guys (& Opie seemed to promote it IIRC) use the Silkolene? as a similar spec alternative although I have no personal experience of that one..

I've started using Castrol 10/60 fully synthetic. I previously used Mobil One.

thumbup Mobil 1 Motorsport (15-40 I think?) has worked a treat for me even at very high temps throughout the summer months.

0-50 was OK until a sprint or track day in the summer, seriously low oil pressure and major oil surge. Baffled sump and oil cooler recommended if using this oil for anything more than road work.
